11 October 2017 - David Smith

Tyneside-born opener David Smith played regularly for Warwickshire between 1973 and 1985 alongside captain Bob Willis and team-mates Dennis Amiss, Alvin Kallicharran, Eddie Hemmings, Gladstone Small etc. After nine years' on the Warwickshire committee, David then moved into full-time cricket administration, as CEO of two of the smaller county clubs, Leicestershire (2008-10) and Northants (2012-14). David will look back on his career, before sharing his strong views on the direction of the modern game - tackling hot topics like the future of county cricket, the new t20 city franchise competition and the Sky/ECB broadcasting deal.
